You can find a diagram of my initial
spec here:

Can you guys see any glaring bottlenecks in my layout?
 Any other suggestions to offer (throw in more
controllers, different RAID layout, etc.)?  Our budget
limit is $50k.

The thing I would ask is would you not be better with SAS drives?

Since the comments on Dell, and the highlighted issues I have been looking at HP and the the Smart Array P600 controller with 512 BBWC. Although I am looking to stick with the 8 internal disks, rather than use external ones.

The HP Smart Array 50 is the external array for SAS drives. Not really looked into it much though.

Regards

Ben
